Planning for the Harvest
Introduction
Harvesting strategy is an important component of any business plan. It is the
termination of investment to derive maximum benefit when it is reasoned that further

goals of the entrepreneur influence harvesting plan. Factors like retirement and the need to
create change when pursuing another business opportunity are some of the personal goals that
affect harvesting. In addition, financial reasons like performance level play a crucial role in
the harvesting plan. High performance is associated with higher harvesting success while
lower levels of performance mean reduced success. It usually advisable to harvest when the
business is performing well in terms of profits and sales revenues. The life cycle of the
business product is also a key factor to consider when creating the harvest plan.
Environmental issues to consider when developing the harvest plan are categorised into two:

will be sold. Business owner and investors will lose direct control over the value for the
